Big red button

Worried about the development of the artificial intelligence that he created, Google is developing a "button" that can turn off the AI ​​in case of danger and threat to a person. This news, replicated by journalists in June 2016, added fuel to the fire of concern for the future relationship of robots and people.

In authoritative Western publications in 2016, information appeared that Google was developing a "big red button" designed to stop AI in the event that artificial intelligence threatens humanity. According to the information of journalists, for this purpose the specialists of the Google division - Deep Mind - teamed up with scientists from Oxford University.

Previously, indeed, a document entitled "Safely Interruptible Agents" was posted on the Web. Its authors are Lauren Orso from Deep Mind and Stuart Armstrong from Oxford University. The document describes a possible future neighborhood of people with artificial intelligence, opposing the desires and aspirations of mankind like fantastic Skynet and Terminator.

This does not seem insane considering that not so long ago the oldest and largest American law firm, Baker & Hostetler, "hired" a robot-lawyer to assist in the processes. Artificial intelligence is supported by IBM Watson supercomputer.
